Did Ceddanne Rafaela find his Dustin Pedroia moment?

It was 17 years ago that Dustin Pedroia went from an under-.200-hitting second baseman to Rookie of the Year, starting with two hits on May 4 against then-star lefty Johan Santana. Two years ago, Bobby Dalbec saw the April-to-May transformation, with Triston Casas serving as the latest example of perseverance in 2023. "You've just gotta make sure you help him throughout the process," Red Sox manager Alex Cora said last year when Casas was going through his early-season woes.
